Movie-review: The Rite

This is the best exorcism movie I’ve seen.
Yes it’s not perfect, but movies rarely are.
What I like with this movie is that it’s not overly dramatic.
I mean usually exorcism movies have a lot of weird stuff with ppl climbing the walls like insects, a lot of blood and puking weird stuff.
Well in this movie there is some strange stuff too, otherwise it would be plain boring.
What I also like is that it’s about a young man becoming priest but who doubt in both demons, the devil and God who is sent to and old priest (who also seem to be a doctor?) who is a good exorcist but perhaps a little unconventional.
The scenes are beautiful and I like the music, it’s emotional and haunting.
So it’s an exorcism movie worth watching.

From IMDB:”Michael, the son of a funeral director grows indifferent to his father and joins a Seminary. On his way to the course completion, he is overwhelmed by a strong lack of faith. His religious beliefs are further jolted when he sees a young girl haplessly dying in a road accident for whom he reluctantly performs the ritual to absolve her sins. His mentor still believes in him and urges him to go to Italy to take an exorcism course hoping that he it would strengthen his faith in Christianity. In Italy he attends a session from Father Xavier who soon becomes aware of his skepticism. As a result he sends him to an eminent Jesuit exorcist, Father Lucas, whose ways though questionable are quite effective. He witnesses the exorcism of a sixteen year old girl but still seems unconvinced. Father Lucas explains to him that it takes multiple sessions over a long stretch of time to completely free a victim from the demon.”
